# 4. Visualize & use data

Congratulations! 🎉 You have successfully mastered the first steps in Eliona, set up your assets, and established the data connection. Now comes the most exciting part: you can use, analyze, and visualize the incoming data to the full extent of Eliona.

This chapter introduces you to the basic functions that will help you make full use of the potential of your data. Get ready to bring your data to life!

* **Create a dashboard:** Turn raw data into meaningful visualizations. Create custom dashboards to get a quick overview of your assets and their statuses.
